This plan allows taxpayers to pay their taxes in two, six or 11 instalments over the course of the year. The next enrolment deadline is September 8, 2006, for 2007 interim property taxes. Before applying for the PTP program, you must pay all instalments of the current tax bill you just received. Applications for the PTP program, along with a void cheque, can be mailed to Box 2500 Terminal A, Toronto ON, M5W 1H2, or delivered to one of the locations listed above.
